Seriously. There’s not enough mile high action in my life. Invariably, I end up sitting next to someone who just got released from prison or rehab. One might assume I would go for someone like that, but ever since I got my chola tear removed I seem to be able to date men who’ve never lived in a halfway house. Creative by BBDO New York.

Is that too much to ask? Why do I have to go watch the stupid ass Pro Bowl? Like anyone really cares about that game. I might as well start drinking now to preempt any boredom which I might suffer.

You’ve all probably seen the new IKEA bedroom commercials, but check out the microsite. Just as good as their kitchen one. Fabulous video work, beautiful editing, nice sound design. Can only assume this was done by the same shops: Forsman & Bodenfors/Camp David/Kokokaka, but not quite sure.

I promised myself I wouldn’t get into the whole Superbowl ad mess, but I really couldn’t pass this up. When I saw this last night, I spit my beer all over the guy next to me. It’s obvious Sales Genie’s in-house team is a group of the most open-minded, politically correct advertising geniuses on the planet.

I always suspected that drinking diet soda would make wonderful things happen to me. That men all over the world would sit in their offices and daydream about Agency Tart because she stays so thin and beautiful by drinking Tab. This shit can’t be real – the 70s were pretty lame, but I’m fairly sure women didn’t want to be Stepford Wives, even then. Or did they?

…and I don’t want to be reminded of that. Luckily, I can’t remember much anyway. When I started drinking Jameson neat with a Guinness chaser, I should have known I was in trouble. Good times. Ad by Psyop/Stink/BBDO Dublin. As always, Psyop is amazing.

At least they’re branching out from the no-set-white-screen thing and adding in some interesting elements, like in this spot, titled “Not” – which looks like Mac and PC are inside a banner ad on the New York Times site. Creative is by TBWA/Epoch Films. Saw the Mac guy in Die Hard yesterday and I think I like him better in the commercials. Got that hot geeky goodness thing going on.
